Selenium aids hair loss in PCOS
Selenium Supplementation and the Effects on Reproductive Outcomes, Biomarkers of Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Direct focus on alopecia effectiveness
We conducted a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to explore how selenium supplementation may influence hair loss among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the study, 64 women aged 18-40 received either 200 μg of selenium daily or a placebo for eight weeks.
After the treatment period, we noticed a significant improvement in hair-related issues for those taking selenium. Specifically, alopecia rates dropped from 40.6% in the selenium group to just 9.4% in the placebo group, showing a strong positive effect of the supplement on hair loss. Acne also improved, with a reduction from 46.9% to 12.5%.
Furthermore, women who took selenium supplements exhibited decreased levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), hirsutism, and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. However, it’s important to note that selenium did not show significant effects on some hormonal profiles and other biomarkers. Overall, our findings suggest that selenium can be beneficial for women with PCOS, particularly regarding hair loss and related symptoms.

Selenium may aid hair loss treatments
Efficacy and tolerability of an oral supplement containing amino acids, iron, selenium, and marine hydrolyzed collagen in subjects with hair loss (androgenetic alopecia, AGA or FAGA or telogen effluvium). A prospective, randomized, 3-month, controlled, assessor-blinded study.
Lower relevance due to combination
We conducted a thorough investigation into the effectiveness of a novel oral supplement containing selenium, among other ingredients, in addressing hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and telogen effluvium (TE). Our study involved 83 participants who were divided into two groups: one received the supplement alongside their prescribed treatments, while the other received only the treatments.
Over 12 weeks, we assessed the outcomes primarily through a global assessment score to see how much improvement, if any, participants experienced. Interestingly, we found that the supplement—rich in selenium, amino acids, and hydrolyzed collagen—enhanced the results for those undergoing anti-hair loss therapies.
In essence, the inclusion of selenium in this combination supplement appears to positively influence the effectiveness of standard treatments for hair loss. While our study was promising, it’s worth noting that deriving individual results for selenium alone is complicated since it was combined with other beneficial components.
